Hi all,

I'm happy to announce that O'Reilly is going to publish my book on Twisted. It's scheduled for release in October. The working title is Twisted Network Programming Essentials.

Congratulations, Abe! This is wonderful news. You know what would be better news, though? My free, autographed copy arriving in the mail ;-)

Whhee, what a good news! I'll definitly buy this one. Please inform us when your book is avaiable on amazon.com (or elsewhere). I have two questions: Does it cover all the changes done with Twisted 2.0 or is it based on a prior version? Is there a way of getting an autographed version, that would be nice :-) On 7/4/05, Abe Fettig wrote:

I've been working on this book since the end of last year, but I've been waiting to announce it until I knew that it was definitely going to be published in the reasonably near future. At this point it's in the editing stage, and O'Reilly has put it on their production schedule for an October release. So spread the word - there's a Twisted book coming!

For a description of what the book covers (and what it doesn't), see this post on my weblog:

Thanks to all the Twisted developers for creating such an amazing framework. The more I learn about Twisted (and I learned a lot while writing this book), the more I'm impressed. I hope this book helps many more people to get started with Twisted, and that it's the first of many more books to come.

Hi all, I'm starting to work on a new server application, and I think Twisted may be a useful platform to build on. I've been having a hard time figuring out where to start, though, as my experience is mostly in database-backed web applications and Twisted seems rather large. I found myself wishing there was an O'Reilly book on Twisted, and was happy to read the message below on the mailing list. Abe, is there any way a newbie like me can get (or buy) a pre-print of your book? Can anyone recommend other resources or tutorials for newbies? The documentation on the Twisted website was confusing, in part because it's divided into many different projects and I don't know how those projects relate or if some of them have been superseded by newer ones. thanks, Shimon Rura On 7/4/05, Abe Fettig wrote:
